This all sounds very good and am excited. I was just wondering if the google doc with recommendations still get used, as I found it again few days ago and added some names.

Kit McLean

Don't destroy my impression of Naomi Klein! I got a bit bored reading This Changes Everything. But Doppelgänger was one of my favourite books last year. I kinda had the sense she was a bit of an anti-guru after that book.

Daniel Gilbert

Podcast directly from the Onsen when?

SHOUNAK SARKAR

Awesome looking forward to it, particularly the decodings of Naomi Klein, Destiny and Yuval Harari. Also I assume Sam Harris has agreed to come on a 2nd time, going by the list. Boy oh boy, that will be tiresome listening to Harris whining about everything and his fanboys on the subreddit running amok for the next month haha. Hope you guys put some actual criticisms forward and prevent him from going on extended monologues about how bad faith and woke everyone is, how nobody understands him, how he is the perfect rationalist blah blah. Apart from that, it looks good!

hasty rewrite

Hasan is a lunatic. A far-left demagogue propagandist every bit as bad as the the worst of the far-right gurus you have covered. Will the decoding episode be based on the fawning interview he recently did with the Houthi pirate?

Roland Weber

Sean Carroll and Yuval Noah Harrari are the only ones from whom I consumed non-DTG content. So I'm looking forward to see whether your impressions align with mine :-)

Roland Weber

Have you considered Iain McGilchrist for a decoding? He seems like a reasonable person to me, but he's shilling his expensive book that took him 10 years to write. And he's not afraid to converse with DTG subjects to promote it. I've seen him on YT with Jordan Peterson (multiple times), Jonathan Pageau, John Vervaecke. Could be a nice break for you, when you're exhausted from the really bad folks again

Linda Sears

Looks like there is a good mix of the more and the less guruesque to provide the content we most enjoy. Thanks!

Ymirsdreams

I am looking forward to it :) My request would be to have Liam Kofi Bright on again. I'd love to hear him talk more on Logical Positivism, and maybe his take on Critical Race Theory -- particularly regarding what seemed to be a kind of moral panic around it in the US between 2021 and 2024.

Artemis Green

You guyyyyys. I step away from patreon for 5 days and come back to find I've missed your ryokan love in sessions. Anyway, I would love to hear your takes on Stephen Porges of polyvagal theory fame and Gabor Mate of everything-is-childhood-trauma fame. They actually had their own love in, so you could do a double decoding (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bisa3dYf7U).

Riku

Nice to see a mix of decodings. Dreading listening to the Hasan one after looking him up and spending some time in hell.

Robert Andrews

Looking forward to these. Are you doing the Destiny / Shapiro debate for the decoding?

John Graham

Oooh cool, having listened to Klein's doppelganger book I'm looking forward to her Right of Reply already - do try and get her on!
